Muentes, daughter of a firefighter, has been missing since Monday morning.
Tisha Meuntes, the 15-year-old daughter of Firefighter Fabien Meuntes and Paramedic Kristin McCluskey of the the Chicago Fire Department, has been missing since 7:00 Monday. Fellow firefighters and medics have been helping the family in their search. Here are excerpts from the WMAQ-TV article (where you will also find video):
The firefighter father of a missing North Side teenager on Wednesday plans to board the Chicago Transit Authority bus his daughter rode everyday to talk to people and hand out flyers in his hunt for the missing 15-year-old.
Fabien Muentes says he’s teaming up with fellow firefighters and his daughter’s friends and teachers to ask for help, about 48 hours after Tisha Muentes was last seen.
Tisha Muentes was on her way to Lincoln Park High School, on a CTA bus, but never made it to school, a missing person alert from Grand Central Area detectives said.
Muentes’ mother, a paramedic, and her father joined members of the fire department spent Tuesday canvassing the Lincoln Park and Lakeview areas.
Friends have taken the search online, creating a page on the social networking site Facebook in order to solicit information. A post on the site says Muentes was on one of the buses.
“We love her and we want her to come home,” Muentes mother, Kristen McCluskey, said through tears.
Muentes stands about 5 feet tall and weighs 105 pounds. She has brown eyes, black hair and an olive complexion.
Anyone with information should call Grand Central Area detectives at 312-746-8365.
